-To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, ANTHONY Scimonnna, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahog'faand State of Ohio, have invented curtain. new and useful Improvements in Faucet-Attaching Devices, of which lthe following is a specification.

This invention is a combined bung and faucet of that type in which the faucet is attached to the bung in reverse position, that is, inside the barrel or package to which the bunis applied.

These devices are used particularly on metal barrels 0r drums, the faucet being located inside the barrel during shipment, and whenA the liquid is to be dispensed the bung is removed, the faucet is detached therefrom and placed in a suitable opening and the bung is replaced to serve its ordinary purpose.

The present invention has advantages with respect to strength of the bung, and respect to the security with which the faucet is held thereby With less liability of becoming detached and dropping within the barrel than with some other devices of the samekind.

In the accoinpanylng drawings Figure l is a sectional view of the device.

Fig. 2 is an inside plan view of the bung.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 3 indicates the wall of a barrel or other container provided with a threaded bung hole to receive the bung. The bung consists of a screw plug having a square head 4 to receive a Wrench, a fiange 5 which stops against the outside of the barrel, and a circular Wall 7 which is threaded on the outside to screw into the bung hole. Also, the bung is provided at its axis or center on the inside,

Yfaucet inside the barrel.

with a threaded stud 6 which is preferably of considerable length, that is, long enough to provide sufficient threads to give a. firm attachment for the faucet.

The faucet S may be of any suitable or standard type, with the addition, however, that the inner end of its bore is threaded as indicated at 9 to screw on the stud 6. The exterior is also threaded as nown at 10 to screw into the usual opening when the faucet is attached for dispensing purposes.

In the use of the article, the faucet'is screwed on to the stud 6, as shown in Fig. 1, and the bung is then set in place with the The barrel can then be shipped Without possible injury to the faucet. By removing the bung, the faucet can be vdetached for use, and the bung replaced to close the bling hole.

I claim:

l. The combination of a screw plug havin an exteriorly-threaded circular Wall and a ange at the outer end of said wall, adapted to stop against the outside of the package into which the plug is screwed, a central threaded stud projecting within said wall, with its free end directed inwardly, and a faucet screwed on to the stud.

2. The combination with a bung having a circular wall threaded eXtcriorly to screw intoa bung hole and a central threaded stud projecting inwardly within said Wall, of a faucet having a threaded vbore adapted to screw on to the stud.

In testimony whereof, I do afiiX my signature in presence' of two witnesses.
